Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collating equipment technology, and in particular to a collating machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern printing and binding industry, collating machines are one of the most important pieces of equipment, undertaking the crucial task of assembling pages of different numbers into a book in sequence. With the continuous development of the printing industry, higher and higher requirements are being placed on the efficiency, accuracy, and stability of collating machines in order to meet the production needs of large-scale, high-quality books, magazines, and other printed materials.

[0003] Existing collating machines typically employ traditional mechanical structures and technical principles. Their paper conveying system mainly relies on a combination of multiple rollers and conveyor belts. The rollers are driven to rotate by a motor, which in turn drives the paper forward. The collating mechanism uses the reciprocating motion of mechanical cams or collating claws to separate stacked sheets of paper one by one and send them into the conveying channel to achieve sequential collating of the paper.

[0004] However, existing collating machines are prone to unstable paper transport speeds during high-speed paper transport due to factors such as the inertia of the mechanical structure and friction between the paper and components. This can lead to paper jams or misalignments, which not only reduces the accuracy of collating and causes a large amount of waste, but also requires frequent machine stops for adjustments, seriously affecting production efficiency and increasing production and time costs. As a result, they cannot meet the modern printing industry's demand for efficient and accurate collating. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a collating machine, which aims to improve the existing collating machine's ability to handle high-speed paper transport, where paper jamming or misalignment occurs due to the inertia of the mechanical structure and friction between the paper and components, resulting in reduced production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a collating machine, comprising a working box, a storage platform fixedly connected to the outer wall of the working box, a placement plate fixedly connected inside the working box, a connecting rod provided on the upper surface of the placement plate, a separator fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, a separation component provided inside the working box, the separation component being used to separate sheets of paper one by one, the separation component including a roller, the outer wall of the roller being rotatably connected inside the working box, the roller being disposed below the placement plate, a limit plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, and an extrusion member fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the work box is equipped with a conveying device for conveying the separated paper.

[0008] Furthermore, a U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod, and a guide rope is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide plate is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rope, and a connecting strip is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the guide plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting block is provided on the outer wall of the connecting strip, and one end of the connecting strip is fixedly connected to the inside of the working box.

[0011] Furthermore, the other end of the connecting strip is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the guide plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the work box, and a detection probe is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the work box.

[0013] Furthermore, the detection probe is used to detect whether the paper separates smoothly, and the detection probe is electrically connected to the controller.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the paper can be initially sorted by the partition strips on the placement plate, so that the paper is neatly arranged, which facilitates the subsequent pagination operation. The combined action of the rotation friction of the roller and the pressure of the squeezing component can stably separate the paper one sheet at a time. In addition, the limiting plate limits the horizontal direction of the paper, ensuring the stability of the paper during the separation process, making pagination accurate and efficient, and improving the quality of collating.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the guide plate and guide rope work together to block and correct the paper stack that may be slightly offset during the paper separation process, effectively avoiding paper offset or paper jam. The detection probe can detect whether the paper separation is abnormal, realizing real-time monitoring and automatic control, reducing incorrect page separation, and improving the stability and reliability of the overall collating work.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a collating machine, including a work box 1. A storage platform 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the work box 1, and a placement plate 5 is fixedly connected inside the work box 1. A connecting rod 7 is provided on the upper surface of the placement plate 5, and a separator strip 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 7. First, the papers to be collated are placed on the placement plate 5 inside the work box 1, and the papers can be initially sorted by the separator strip 8 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 7 to make the papers neatly arranged. A separation component is provided inside the work box 1 to separate the papers one by one. The separation component includes a roller 6, the outer wall of which is rotatably connected inside the work box 1. The roller 6 is located below the placement plate 5. The machine is activated by starting the drive device inside the collating machine. The drive device drives the roller 6 to rotate. When the roller 6 rotates, it will contact the bottommost paper on the placement plate 5. Due to the rotational friction of the roller 6, the paper will tend to move downward. At this time, the squeezing member 10 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 7 will apply a certain pressure to the paper. Under the combined action of the friction of the roller 6 and the pressure of the squeezing member 10, the paper will be separated from the paper pile one by one. The outer wall of the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 9. By setting the limiting plate 9, the paper can be limited in the horizontal direction to ensure the stability of the paper separation process. The separated paper will fall into the conveying device 11 inside the work box 1. The conveying device 11 will transport the paper to the next paging process to continue the paging operation.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4The working box 1 is equipped with a conveying device 11, which is used to convey the separated paper. A U-shaped plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 7. A guide rope 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the U-shaped plate 14. A guide plate 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rope 3. A connecting strip 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the guide plate 4. A connecting block 12 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting strip 13. One end of the connecting strip 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the working box 1, and the other end of the connecting strip 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the guide plate 4. During the paper separation process, the paper stack may slightly shift. This can easily lead to misalignment during the next page separation. At this time, the cooperation of the guide plate 4 and the guide rope 3 can play a certain role in blocking and correcting, effectively avoiding paper misalignment or paper jams. A controller 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the work box 1, and a detection probe 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the work box 1. When the detection probe 16 detects an abnormality in paper separation, it will transmit a signal to the controller 15. At this time, the controller 15 receives the signal and can pause the operation of the drive device of the conveying device 11 to ensure the normal progress of the collating work.

[0026] Working principle: When using the device, the paper to be collated is first placed on the placement plate 5 inside the work box 1. The paper is initially sorted by the separator 8 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 7, so that the paper is neatly arranged. By starting the drive device inside the collating machine, the drive device drives the roller 6 to rotate. When the roller 6 rotates, it will contact the paper at the bottom of the placement plate 5. Due to the rotational friction of the roller 6, the paper will tend to move downward. At this time, the pressing element 10 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 7 will apply a certain pressure to the paper. Under the combined action of the friction of the roller 6 and the pressure of the pressing element 10, the paper is separated from the paper pile one by one. The limiting plate 9 can limit the paper in the horizontal direction to ensure the stability of the paper separation process. The separated paper will fall into the conveying device 11 inside the work box 1. The conveying device 11 will transport the paper to the next collating process to continue the collating operation.

[0027] During the paper separation process, the paper stack may shift slightly, which may cause the next page separation to shift. At this time, the guide plate 4 and guide rope 3 can play a certain role in blocking and correcting, effectively avoiding paper shift or paper jam. When the detection probe 16 detects an abnormality in paper separation, it will transmit a signal to the controller 15. At this time, the controller 15 receives the signal and can pause the operation of the drive device of the conveying device 11 to ensure the normal progress of the collating work.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
